The purpose of this article is to discuss the use of music (i.e., two original songs, "Neurotransmitter Twitter" and "Parkinson's Shuffle") to teach aspects of psychopharmacology to students in the course Psychiatric/Mental Health Nursing. Songs were incorporated in both the clinical and classroom settings. This innovative teaching method allowed students the opportunity to revisit the information through multiple exposures of the content for reinforcement and enhancement of student learning in a fun, creative approach. Brain-based research will be discussed, along with the process of development.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of two styles of classical music, based on different tempos (BPM), on the physiological and blood parameters of horses during social isolation and restriction of movements. First experiment was carried out using nine horses of no defined breed, distributed in Control, Slow-tempo music and Moderate-tempo music .For social isolation and restriction of movement, the animals were housed daily in individual stalls for two hours and exposed to the stimuli for 60 min, and eye temperature, heart rate, and respiratory rate were assessed.

Objective: While anecdotal reports of the use of performance-enhancing medications to curb anxiety in performing artists abound, there has been no research to date assessing the prevalence of usage and attitudes towards use amongst the artists themselves. The objective of this study was to evaluate the perceptions, acquisition, and use of potentially performance-enhancing medications (benzodiazepines, beta-blockers, and cannabinoids) in the performing artist community to clarify the use of these medications to improve patient counseling and patient safety.
Design: Cross-sectional survey.

Article Synopsis
- Serotonergic psychedelics, like LSD and psilocybin, alter consciousness and may help treat mental health issues, but how they work is still not entirely clear.
- The study reviews subjective experiences, neuroimaging, and molecular actions, indicating LSD leads to more intense visionary experiences compared to psilocybin and alters brain connectivity patterns.
- Findings suggest a complex relationship between different psychedelics' effects and highlight the need for standardized research methods to better understand these substances and their therapeutic potential.*
Frontal GABA levels associate with musical rhythm production in healthy aging adults.

Changes in neuronal inhibition have been implicated in age-related declines in sensorimotor performance. While indirect evidence suggests that inhibitory mechanisms are also involved in rhythm entrainment, this association has not been tested. Using magnetic resonance spectroscopy, we tested the association between dorsomedial frontal GABA+/H2O concentrations and musical rhythm production in healthy younger (n = 14; 18-35) and older (n = 12; 55-79) adults, hypothesizing that lower GABA+/H2O concentrations would be associated with increased timing error, particularly on more difficult exercises, and intra-individual variability (quantified via mean successive squared difference (MSSD)).

Background: Recent studies had explored that gut microbiota was associated with personality traits through the gut-brain axis. Nevertheless, the fundamental causality remained obscure.
Methods: Mendelian randomization (MR) was used to investigate the causal relationship between gut microbiota, metabolites and neuroticism-related traits.
